Asset manager, GAM has announced that its GAM Systematic Alternative Risk Premia offering has won a new mandate from Australian life insurance company, CommInsure which plans to invest $300 million across its diversified portfolio of risk premia.

The alternative risk premia portfolios typically targeted 15 strategies across the style of categories of value, momentum and carry, the company said.

GAM Systematic’s co-head, Anthony Lawler, said: “We see continued strong interest in our product offering managed by GAM’s alternative risk premia team by Lars Jaeger.

“Our highly disciplined research approach, honed over many years, focuses on designing well-structured risk premia with a focus on low cost implementation.

“GAM Systematic brings solutions to the table that are uncorrelated to the global bond and equity markets over the cycle, and that is clearly something that our clients seek in today’s environment.”

With the new mandate, GAM would manage $4 billion for Australian clients across its absolute return, traditional and systematic investment strategies.
